Reviving the Trinity

Academic & heritage project on Trinity College Edinburgh. Its altarpiece, building, institution, rituals, music, patronage, and networks.

Owners of an historic church near Dumfries, who removed two medieval bells from its tower without necessary planning permission, are still refusing to return them despite losing their appeal to Scottish Government and being served an enforcement notice. 👇

A HUGE thank you to Dr @LizzieSwarbrick for her wonderful tour of Edinburgh's medieval Trinity Apse today.

Thanks also to @RevivingTrinity for arranging access and to the lovely group of folks who came along and asked so many insightful questions about this remarkable building!

Our very own Jill Harrison will be speaking at this about the wonderful work she’s done to find Trinity stones in Edinburgh’s wider cityscape.

Wowowow!

[Dr Lizzie Swarbrick 🇵🇸 @LizzieSwarbrick]

Just look at this gorgeous and tiny model of Trinity! Wonderful!

[Reviving the Trinity @RevivingTrinity]

Just look at this fantastic mock-up replacing Trinity where it originally stood (now platform 1 of Waverley Station).

[Dr Lizzie Swarbrick 🇵🇸 @LizzieSwarbrick]

This is a rarely open amazing medieval building with a fascinating history. Please do sign up as a friend of Scotland’s Churches Trust (or donate a tenner) and I’ll show you around!

A little bit wobbly after up close viewing #GallowayHoard rock crystal jar, a touchstone & gold aestels pre-900 @NtlMuseumsScot. Hard to believe how intricately beautiful. Mind boggling this came out of the ground just 7 years ago, conserved & ready to go https://t.co/57MXyo5PDe

One of the other Scottish St Georges is on our very own altarpiece! We’ll have brand new research on it as part of our forthcoming book on Trinity church.

[Dr Lizzie Swarbrick 🇵🇸 @LizzieSwarbrick]

It’s #StGeorgesDay so here’s a beautiful image of the saint (along with the instruments of the Passion and a great beasty border) on the blind-stamped binding of a 16thC missal made for St Nicholas’, Aberdeen. Now in @uoacollections

[Reviving the Trinity @RevivingTrinity]

We can’t let #StGeorgesDay go by without sharing our own image of the saint accompanying Queen Margaret of Denmark in Hugo van der Goes’ spectacular altarpiece made for Trinity. He is so delicious, right down to his decorative chainmail.
Trinity had an altar dedicated to him too!

Another piece of writing sent off today - but the first one where I’m a co-editor.

This one is a VERY FULL architectural and art historical analysis of Trinity, Edinburgh. She’s such a beauty but I’m done with her for this weekend at least. @RevivingTrinity

[Dr Lizzie Swarbrick 🇵🇸 @LizzieSwarbrick]

It was a great pleasure to talk to the Old Edinburgh Club this evening - what a lovely and engaged audience! I hope to take you all to Trinity soon. @RevivingTrinity
